Job Placement & Achievements

Since 2004, 130 students have completed PhDs in history at the University. We have employment data on all but 15 of these alumni. Despite a tough job market, 84% of these graduates are in academic or academic-related appointments; 64% (83 out of 130) hold tenure-track or tenured academic appointments. Our graduates hold tenured and tenure-track appointments at major state flagship universities, elite private universities, and leading liberal arts colleges, as well as at smaller regional, state university branch campuses. A small but growing number of students use their PhDs to pursue non-academic careers in public history, museums and libraries, the non-profit sector and NGOs, and business.
